The Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival story is one of romance. It is an annual celebration that marks the reawakening in our community of all that makes us alive and human. We smile at one another. We take our lunches under the spreading blossoms. We spend the warming nights beneath illuminated clouds of flowers. We celebrate as people have celebrated since time immemorial, with poetry, music, dance, good food and drink, laughter, and love.
The Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival kicks off the season with Cherry Jam Downtown, a noon-hour concert at downtown’s Burrard SkyTrain station featuring local talent and memorable performances. Come soak in the festive atmosphere under the spectacular canopy of blossoming cherry trees and readings of the 2019 Haiku Invitational winning poems.
